Addy Wiley responds to DOPING accusations

She's fueling the fire.
Why even respond if it aint true?

As much as I like it when people run fast, her uncommitting from Colorado to stay at Huntington is such a bad look that it makes it hard for me to be a fan of hers.

I would absolutely be a fan if she just embraced being a villain. Start tweeting out "I am doping and I'll never be caught. Stay mad losers" and I'd 100% be behind her for no other reason than it would be funny. I'd continue being a fan so long as she was passing drug tests. Honestly it'd make me think she's more likely to be clean.

She shouldn't respond. The doping dunces play this game because they can't lose. They have no talent or insight whatsoever. There are going to be some doping bans every year. The dunces use that minuscule slice to proclaim everyone is dirty. And when an athlete has nothing but negative tests they use the who cares response that the simpleton tweeted to Wiley.

There should be two ongoing threads here. One with the names of every current/recent track and field athlete who has tested positive and/or had whereabouts failures. The other thread contains all the names who don't fit either category.

That War and Peace scroll would supply the necessary bottom line jolt.

She shouldn't respond, but she does, because there isn't one adult in her corner giving her good advice.

She is the fastest American in history. Must be getting some decent advice.

Most people who go all-in and decide to dope also will go all-in with regards to denial. You have to ask yourself, why would any clean athlete want to associate with these coaches? I'd think even most dirty who haven't yet been popped athletes wouldn't want to associate them.

Link?

She’s the most obvious doper in track.

How is a person who has passed every test more obvious than somebody who has failed? You need some remedial work on basic logic.

No that's Sifan Hassan and Cheptegai.

Kiptum says hi

The only way that I might be convinced that Wiley is clean is if she quits being coached by Nick Johnson and transfers to a real program.

We are watching an absolute tragedy play out before our eyes.

She's such a young talented kid, who has been failed by everyone around her. Of course the running community conveniently forgets that she is coached by known abusers when she runs fast. Of course they forget the police reports, the allegations, everything.

I always think of Aly Raisman's statement about Larry Nassar and when she said: "if just one adult listened...this tragedy never would have happened" Where are the adults in Addy's life? Why aren't they doing right by her?

Life is about more than running fast. How much is being stolen from her in pursuit of these times?

I see the light. Wiley is more obvious than Houlihan but one is banned while the other is winning races.

One was targeted relentlessly by anti-doping agencies and one has not been. Yet. And the testing is simply not good enough. The dopers will almost always beat the testing. You can only hope they get sloppy during the dragnet like Houlihan did, but most will skate right by.
